I shall retire early
and rest in the waves of your love,
being with you.
I will push my boat across senses' sand
and paddle beyond the breakers of memory,
finding there the still numbness of your depths
while you lift the sails of spirit.
Gone is the beach, the world,
only the sea with no horizons.
Gone is the boat...
just the sunlight
and invigorating warmth
of your presence
shining,
shining calmly.
Thoughts, still awareness ~
Actions, pure being ~
Feelings, only peace ~
all drowned,
drowned
in the ocean of your love.
